Black Beans Enchilada Pasta... Oh Yeah!

Sometimes I lie awake at night thinking about food and I can feel my heart beating faster. Yes, food excites me, a lot! And that is the time of day my brain functions at its best. I think about all the different food variations and ingredients I could possibly combine.

It's like solving a Math equation where I have to figure out values for:a + b + ... + z = AMAZING! So here is one such recipe I cooked up before I fell asleep.

Y'all know Mexican food is my favorite cuisine. So I knew I wanted to make a Mexican Pasta dish, sorta fusion, but what kind of sauce would I add to a Mexican Pasta? Hmmm... and then it hit me, Enchilada Sauce.

And then I added sour cream to make it creamy. It's reduced fat and I only used 1/2 a cup, so chill.

And then I proceeded to add all my favorite Mexican food veggies along with a Mexican Blend cheese. In the oven for 20 minutes and voila, Mexican Pasta is served!

Verdict? This dish turned out spectacular. My friend, Kinjal, stopped by along with her boyfriend and they both agreed it was very good.

My husband was out drinking with his co-workers so he missed out on all the fun we had... haha! :-) When he eventually did come home he ate some of the leftovers and nodded with joy. Yeah, he loved it, too! :-)

And now it's your turn to give this recipe a try! Feedback is always welcome!

NUTRITION: Whole Grain Pasta is a great source of Fiber and Protein. Black Beans are an excellent source of Fiber and Protein. Tomatoes are a good source of Vitamins A and C. Although high in fat, cheese is a good source of Calcium and Protein.

Wow. Seriously, I wanna do this. Like, right now!!! It will be a meal this week for sure. We all love mexican food and pasta at home. It is nice the way you mixed pasta and mexican flavors. I already love it :) Thanks a lot! PS: I'm just like you. I do think of food at night and my boyfriend just don't understand haha :P It is always running in your head as in mine :P I'm not alone! God thanks hihi!

I just made this for dinner, so so so good! I had everything on hand except the scallions and cilantro which I was disappointed about but it still turned out awesomely! I also added diced zucchini and corn. This was the perfect amount of heat without being over-powerfully spicy. Definitely going to become a go to dinner.

Oh this looks fantastic for the coming winter months. I love meals that translate to good leftovers for lunch the next day. "TELL ME: If you are a food blogger, is it just me, or do you lie awake at night dreaming of food and new recipes to invent? Tell me I'm not CRAZY!" You are not crazy. Well, unless I am absolutely flaming mad too.

I have been "stalking" this blog for a little while now but this is the first recipe I have actually tried. I couldn't resist commenting because it was SO delicious! I whipped it up for my boyfriend and I to have for dinner but it was so tasty I just had to share it with my roommate and her boyfriend too! Thanks for the great recipe.

Honey, thank you so much for the inspiration!!! I just made this for dinner, slightly modified, using fire roasted green chiles instead of the jalapenos, and I added some 97/3 ground beef. Absolutely AMAZING! My husband has demanded that we add this to our "menu" of food choices :) Thanks again!!!

This recipe was so easy and so delicious! 20 minutes was too long for my oven, so the cheese on top ended up getting a little too hard; but of course that's my own fault for not keeping an eye on it. This was an amazing recipe, and I can't wait to try your future creations.

Hi hon,We made this for dinner tonight and it was too good. The recipe is so easy to follow. I guess I have to figure out the oven settings here cause the cheese did get slightly hard. We could not find any taco seasoning in HK so just managed with the enchilada sauce and it still turned out amazing. Thanks for sharing such a wonderful recipe.

I have made this recipe so many times now, and it is one of my favorites! It makes so much, so it's perfect for entertaining. It also reheats well, so we often have left overs for lunches. I'm making it again this weekend. It looks like a lot of ingrediants, but it's really very simple to make. Thank you!!

Pasta is in the oven as we speak. I think I've made this three times or more and each times is better than the next. I'm thinking of adding some canned corn the next time. I Just love how my meat loving husband doesnt mind eating this vegetarian dish! Simply amazing!
